A few things, scenerios posited like yours seem to say that suddenly, all at one time, over-night, everyone will suddenly start to do that. That's not quite the case. The few people left who would be willing to do that sort of thing, they would be quite expensive (much like it is in the West right now, at the turn of the last century, labour was cheap and rich people had many servants, but only the seriously rich do today, others have maids, but they're still not as cheap as they used to be). However, if the cost of those people became so high that alternatives became cheap (ie, either get a toilet cleaning robot or replacing your toilet to be a self-cleaning one), then people would go for those and thus not need those people anymore.

Honestly, though, I call this a fallacy of "all or nothing" thinking. You might want to examine the root cause of it. Frequently its being told at some point that "work sin't supposed to be fun". or that "not everyone can chase their dreams". Good luck!
